What Is Meant By 'Good' and 'Just'?

• How do you define 'Good' and 'Just'?
• How are the terms similar?
• How are the terms different?
• What do 'Good' and 'Just' look like in the classroom?
• What roles could technology play?

Focusing on the Good

• Start your focus on 'students in the margins'
• The 'what' and 'how' of teaching is held to rigorous standards
• Teachers have high expectations of all students
• Teachers engage students in opportunities for critical questioning

(Cochran-Smith et al., 2009; Grant, 2012; Rose & Meyer, 2000)

Focusing on the Just

• Recognition that there are disparities in educational opportunities, resources and achievement between marginalized students and their wealthier white counterparts
• Engage in a critique of the universalist views of knowledge which do not adequately recognize the experiences and knowledge of marginalized groups
• Provide curriculum and content that is both challenging and culturally sustaining
• Practice democracy and engage in social activism in the classroom

(Cochran Smith et al., 2009; Grant, 2012)

Focusing on the People at the Intersection

• Look deeply into you, who you are, what you value, what role you see yourself playing in the larger society and how your own traditions and experiences have influenced you
• Be a 'friend of their minds' ('Make yourself a teacher, find yourself a friend,' Pirke Avot 1:6)
• Find and surround yourself with others who will learn and grow with you and support you along your journey

(Grant, 2012)
